It is true that divorce is not a pleasant situation to end up being as a married couple, but unfortunately this is a decision that many couples take when they feel that their relationship falls apart. Reasons can be numerous and the page of an article may not be enough to cover them all. However there are a few reasons that seem to be commonly met with couples that we plan to describe down below:

* Infidelity - seems to be in the top of the list of reasons that determines couple to divorce. It may happen most of the times for one partner to cheat on the other, but there are cases when both of them may be involved in an affair and at this point the only solution is separation.

Nevertheless, infidelity always comes as an aspect that outlines one or several issues existing ion a relationship. If your partner is caught cheating on you, then you won't be very happy about this, that's for sure. But when you still want to keep your marriage, it is necessary that you discuss about this with the partner and find out the reasons that have lead him or her to infidelity.

* Couples do not communicate - it is another reason that can make couples end up in divorce. There are couples that find it hard to discuss about all sorts of issues, mostly the ones that are too sensitive to them. As a result they would rather give up instead of opening the discussion on topics that can solve a problem.

If you are in such a situation you need to find a way to open up in front of your spouse no matter how sensitive the issue is. Do not think about this as something that makes you vulnerable in front of the other spouse, but instead see the entire situation as a way to save your marriage, if you still want to be in the marriage, that is!

Women are usually very frustrated when seeing their spouses too closed within themselves and at some point they can confront with some sort of resentment they feel towards the entire situation. When this resentment seems to last too long, then there is only a tiny step to the inevitable getting a divorce.

* Having different goals in life - is the next reason that determines married couples to separate. These sorts of issues must be discussed with your partner before you even consider getting married. While still being in a relationship, it is important that both of you express your expectations in life and in this way there won't be any dream that is shuttered because of a life full of commitments or the feeling that marriage has cut one's wings to fly to one's life dream.

Once your marriage is falling apart you may find divorce the only way out of a situation, but is this indeed something that you want to obtain? Before you take one step further, it is worth taking your time and think for a while about the consequences that result from this action. Are you convinced that this solution is the one to make you happy?

Well, there are different perspectives here and it is worth mentioning them if you want to make any sense of what is going to be presented further on in this article:

* One situation where divorce is seen as a relief, is the abusive marriage. If you have a spouse who treats you violently and without consideration, you will only feel miserable and depressive especially when you are a loyal and hard working spouse. At this point, you have to simply draw the line between what you want from a marriage and what you want to be treated like. Do you think that divorce is going to be a solution that brings you the peace of mind and stress-free life?

If the answer is 'yes' it means that you must go for it. At the same time you may discover that this situation can make you confront with solitude, a state of mind that you don't cope with very well. This is the moment that can determine you to search for those good traits that your spouse must have had at a certain time in life.

As you can see, there isn't a definite answer to the question: Is divorce a happy solution for me?, but the answer mostly depends on the type of situation you are into and how you are able to deal with the marital issues or matters of infidelity and violence.

* Another situation is presented in the form of changing one's mind. It happens for too many times in marriages to be fed up with some behaviors and as a result one day you simply act out of frustration and anger and conclude that divorce is the only solution to put an end to those behaviors. But once the divorce reaches to an end, you realize that your spouse was merely behaving that way simply because of circumstances and you tend to understand better and start regretting that decision that has lead you into divorcing.

Also the presence of children in a marriage can determine you to withdraw this decision and continue the marriage for the sake of your kids.

* Financial hardships can be the reason to determine both of you making a decision of this sort and by the time when papers are already filed, you realize that there may be some other solutions to get you out of the financial hardships.

One has to realize that the length of a divorce will depend on various factors. It may end pretty fast but it may take as well several months to complete, all these being in accordance to the couple particularities. This article will discuss about these factors and you will be in the end the one to decide which category of situation refers to your situation as well:

* The length of your marriage is the first factor to mention here. For couples that have been married for a short period of time when not many assets have been purchased together and no kids have resulted from the marriage , the divorce can end up pretty fast.

* Kids play as an important factor in the length of a divorce. With kid(s) situation may get complicated. Maybe you cannot agree on the custody, or you think that your ex-spouse shouldn't share custody at all due to his or her neglectful attitude. At this point, it is the court responsibility to determine who should have custody and the entire process can take some time before divorce is pronounced. Or it may be that divorce has reached to an end, but there are still arguments related to kids' custody or any other things like this.

* Disputes on property is another factor to make a divorce last longer. It is again up to the court to find a way and divide the property according to the state laws while deciding which the fairest way is to have the property divided. At this point, the existence of debts is also weighed and court needs to establish who is going to pay them in the future or how they need to be divided between the ex-spouses.

* The state laws related to divorce differ from one state to another so these ones will have to be considered as another factor in deciding how long the divorce can last. On the other hand, you are given a 'cooling off' period that may vary from one state to another.

* The court's calendar plays another role in the length of a divorce. For instance, living in a large city, it may take some time before your divorce is final although the case may be simpler, even if the 'cooling off' period reaches an end.

There are as well other factors that can be considered when you are looking for answers related to the divorce length, but most of the time, the ones displayed above are met with many cases, but again, it is only your particular situation that can dictate this feature.

Yes, divorce is never an easy thing to confront with. Even if this has come to you as a relief, you still have to deal with those moments when you come home and there is nobody around to talk to. In front of you there is a new life unfolding, a life with which you have to deal and understand that no matter what you are on your own in every single step you take forward.

It is true that for many people who get divorced these moments may be the toughest to carry on their shoulders but it is important that you know how to move on with your life. Here are a few useful tips that you can pay attention to, to find out how to live your life after you are definitely separated from your partner.

* The most important thing to start with is to always look ahead of you and never let your thoughts drift in the past. Maybe it was your fault that things have gone so far and you feel like blaming yourself for this. Maybe it was his or her fault that has determined you to get the divorce, but it is pointless to think of these things now. Thoughts of the past will only drag your existence into having all sorts of states of mind that are not constructive for your current life. It is therefore important to focus on the present and on the future.

* The next thing that can be of help to you is to find the support of a close friend. Have him or her coming over to talk about future plans or projects that you can do together.

* Do you have any hobbies or have always dreamed of doing something and never had the chance of doing while being married? Well, now that the divorce is over, you have all the time in the world to take care of that hobby or to pursue doing that 'something' you have always dreamed of.

* It is important to focus on doing things that you will like doing. This can help you develop more your personality and gain more confidence in who you are and what you can do now that you have time to focus on your needs.

* Go out, make new friends, socialize as in this way, your mind can get easily distracted from what you are usually concerned with. Do not burry yourself into self-pity or in any feeling that drags you backward instead of doing something that allows you to move forward.

Moving on with your life after getting the divorce may not be the nicest time of your life, but it isn't also the time to get depressed and feel lonely. It is the time of changing your life into better.
